About Lovelady Shield Country House Hotel
Guests at Lovelady Shield Country House Hotel walk into en-suite rooms furnished in a country style, with drinks provided in the room and a general sense of comfort rather than corner-cutting. There are 16 rooms spread across three floors, each set up as a proper retreat after a day out on the fells, and free on-site parking means arriving by car is straightforward.
Breakfast is cooked and served hot each morning, and the hotel runs a 24 hour reception so guests coming and going at odd times are never left waiting. Free WiFi is available throughout, and for those wanting a drink or meal beyond the hotel's own offering, a pub, bar and restaurant can all be found nearby. Pets are welcome, which suits the walking-heavy nature of a stay here.
The hotel sits within reach of the North Pennines, with a walking area on hand for those wanting to get straight out into the landscape, plus a golf course and entertainment nearby for a change of pace. Alston itself is close by, making Lovelady Shield a practical base for exploring this part of Cumbria on foot or by car.

What guests say
Emailed a while back to ask some relevant questions, never replied, a bit off the beaten track, talking of tracks, the one down will test your suspension. Poor signage to find and now closed down after a awful attempt at a business.

Lovely quiet hotel in a beautiful setting. Rooms were airy and comfortable and breakfast was excellent. Just a note that the hotel does not serve any alcohol. Definitely one to return to again

At first, the name made me a bit hesitant. Hotels with Love in the name are usually associated with sin dens like Las Vegas, but I was pleasantly surprises with what I experienced. Set in very idyllic grounds, far away from the road, with a pleasant view and a babbling brook nearby, it’s a great escape for a secluded weekend. The room was decent and tastefully decorated. The bed was a tad soft for my liking. A robust breakfast was included. All in all, not bad for the price.
